You can listen to Skillet’s new rock radio single “Monster” right here. The track, which impacts radio on July 13th, is taken from the group’s upcoming new album ‘Awake‘ due out August 25th. Front-man John Cooper has offered a track by track breakdown of the album check it out here.

What Coldplay song?
“Viva la Vida”, tons of bands and artists accused Coldplay of ripping them off.
thats true its not one of those songs you can play with each other and they fit like coldplay and joe satriani or nickelback and nickelback (someday and how you remind me). and monster is a whole minute shorter then animal. the more i listen to it, its growing on me and the similarities don’t bother me as much. and like many pointed out monster has that second chorus part
I’m going to join the team that says it sounds like 3dg. I just listened to both songs back to back and also had them both playing at the same time. I think there are STRONG similarities – not saying Skillet RIPPED OFF 3dg…but I expected more from them.
I’m looking forward to this album. And love the song.
Wow, this is crazy everyone. Skillet hands down is one of the best and most popular Christian rock bands out there along with Red, 12 Stones, Thousand Foot Krutch, and Flyleaf. Without this song, the album will most likely be up to par with the last few if it sounds like Monster and Hero. Even with it it still will be great. So, I’m pretty psyched for it.
Hero = Papercut (Linkin Park) <–It’s amazing how similar they are!
Monster = Animal (3DG)
i think this is the first band that i’ve listened to that actually sounds better live than on CD.
WOOOOOAAAH!!!!!!! STOP!! PLEEEAAASSE STOP!!! BEFORE I VOMIT FROM MY EYEBALLS!!!!! I’m gonna start this by saying that I HATE any of you people dare call yourselves skillet fans or “panheads” when you just started listening to them when Comatose came out, when Collide was easily just as good, and for the matter, any of you accusing Skillet for “ripping-off” a song. And that there are going to 12 songs on AWAKE and not 10??
O! and thank God that one of you; Cfw828, realizes that Howard Benson PRODUCED One-X and two Skillet albums thus far, so its extremley easy to see why the songs share some similarities, its just the style he creates in his music along with the work of the multiple different artists he works with. Another thing, Skillet changes their style, each new record to fit in w/ popular, mainstream rock music to please and attract more fans, but in their own creative fashion, its what we call “smart.” I can see what your trying to get at, but you have to realize that Skillet is a christian rock band and gets plenty of their ideas out of the Bible!! HUH!! OMG!!! RED is a christian band too!!! Do you know what that means children??? They got their Death of Me concept from the Bible too!! :O P.S. you cant even tell me Im wrong on that lil’ tidbit because there is proof on the DVD that comes with the Deluxe Edition of Innocence and Instinct. Skillet came up w/ their own lyrics, (better than 3DG) own intrumental works, (ALWAYS better than 3DG) and took a COMPLETLEY differnent approach w/ Monster (BETTER THAN 3DG!!!) O! One last note uuuhh trancedanne1?? is it?? Skillet is FAR from overrated sweetie!!! Jeremy Camp, Casting Crowns, and Switchfoot is what we call overrated Christian music!!
K thanx, bye!!
Ooooopsss!! Sorry I forgot!!
If you guys are bitch about this how come you dont freakin bitch about like pop rock or techno rock cuz that sh** def. sounds the same ALL THE TIME!!! No matter who the hell the band is those genres ALWAYS sound the same!! ALWAYS talkin about some chick they like or wanna bang!! Its ridiculous how unoriginal that crap is!! I just don’t understand you people, just whatever you have to say to me after my comments dont, I mean DONT get me started on rap!!! lol
panhead92. lot of good points man. honestly i am with ya. that being said, you seem really defensive right now. a lot of here at tunelab say time and time again that everyone is entitled to an opinion. frankly i agree with yours. but really we try not to do the whole bashing on people thing, as well as bands and different genres as well. music is music and people are people.we’re all different man. we all like different stuff. i like our lady peace, deftones, royksopp, bloc party, you know little bit of everything. but yeah anyway, good points bro.
well thanx zach, I really appreciate that someone sees me eye to eye Idk though, I just get extremeley defensive when it comes to music and I can become somewhat of a “Monster” lol when it comes to my opinion getting across to people and I LOVE to debate its a sick fashion but w/e its a living. . . I guess. If you guys like Skillet then you should def. know that this album will be awesome considering theyve started to climb a ladder and havent stopped since like Collide theyve began to enter the world of mainstream rock music and have most certainly proven themselves worthy of being a very succesful band.
i hear ya man, music for us is like politics with everyone else. all i know is that i can’t wait to see them at soulfest in a few weeks.
AAAWWWWWWW!!!!! LUCKY!! lol idk I might see them my 7th time on Oct 2nd at the Hammerstein Ballroom, NYC, which will be awesome cuz I was at the 1st show there a couple of years back. hahaha!! That was one hell of a show!!
but man!!! I havent been to Soulfest in ages!!:..(
i have never been , and i have heard it’s really good. i was actually really psyched to see oceana after hearing their new album too but they broke up so they won’t be there. but i like oh sleeper, and project 86 and a lot of others so i think it will be a good time.
panhead no one was arguing that they’re not christian. same with red. everyone knows they are and naturally their lyrics will reflect some of their beliefs and the bible. that said, i have been a fan since the “hey you i love your soul” album. wow have they changed since then haha (in a good way).
i also heard that there will be 12 songs on awake cuz they just recorded one. do you know if it will only be on the deluxe version? or what that version will include? i’ve tried to look it up but no luck so far. i preordered the cd already but its just the regular edition.
My best guess would probably be that it will be on the standard edition?? Just a guess, but they WILL eventualy produce a deluxe edition of “AWAKE” probably very similar to the Comatose one. . . I think because they were able to record it ahead of time it has a good chance of being available on the standard edition. Unlike “Open Wounds” or “Live Free or Let Me Die” the additional track was recorde before the release of the album. But knowing my freakin luck itll end up being an exclusive bonus track on a deluxe CD or through some special offer crap!! Yeah, but according to “InsideRevolution.net” (no caps needed) claims that extra song is titled “Believe”
